Ted Hamer is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based
in Toronto. He holds a degree from OCAD University and an
advanced diploma in Animation-Digital Arts.
His studio practice explores human/animal relationships through
figure-based work in drawing, painting, mural making and sculp-
ture. Hamer is interested in exploring the intersection of the
natural and man-made environments, and is fuelled by artistic
collaboration in the community.
This piece explores the concept of a brain as an idea incubator. Often when coming up with an
idea, Hamer will collect inspiration and let it incubate in his mind for a time.
The bird symbolizes the idea that has been developed through the process of incubation with
the brain and nest working together to develop the "thinkubation."
